High Templar

The High Templar is an advanced unit available for the Protoss. It can be built from a Gateway, but only after a Templar Archives has been built.

The High Templar is a casting unit. It has no normal attack, is very slow moving and has extremely low health. It can learn the incredibly powerful Psionic Storm skill though, which does massive AoE damage wherever it's cast. The High Templar need protection if they want to survive, but are a key part to any land based army.

Psionic Storm - Drops an Area of Effect lightning spell on the targeted location, dealing damage for short time to all units under and around it. It's important to know that this spell lasts for several seconds, dealing damage slowly over time and that it also hurts friendly units!

Hallucination - Creates a clone of a friendly unit. This clone does no damage, but looks like a normal unit. Only Detector units will reveal it to be fake.
